Quoting Peter Ross (Petros.Listig@fdrive.com.au):
Unrelated to this discussion, today I stumbled over some activities of the American Koch brothers.
Is there any chance we could call them the 'Dutch Koch brothers'? Their family is from the Netherlands, so I say we should blame the Dutch.
I don't have a problem with that. I do not much about this family, besides of being quite powerful business people in the USA. There are many "Kochs" in the world (Koch is the German word for cook. The Dutch is "kok", AFAIK. Maybe you blame the Germans now;-) Regards Peter

They're extremely wealthy, and are the primary financial force behind the 'tea party' groups.

Natürlich nicht. ;-> Yes, I know their surname seems German, but all the bio information about them says they're Holländisch, so to speak.
